Southern Tide has set the bar for a quality product that exudes class and just all around southern heritage. I have not once been disappointed with one of the many products I have ever purchased from this fine company!
A. Wilson, Myrtle Beach, SC
I just wanted to write a letter thanking you for making such a great, well-made product in Southern Tide merchandise. I have been a big fan for a while now, sporting your ties, sunglass straps, pants and shirts.
J. Kelly, Camden, SC
First off I want to say how great your products are. The polos and everything else are absolutely fantastic. At my country club I get many questions about your company and quality of clothes.
S. Greene, Winston Salem, NC
I just wanted to let you know how pleased I am with all your clothing products. I have told tons of my friends about your stuff and they all love it too. You guys are doing a wonderful job!
S. Lulli, Atlanta, GA
I first of all wanted to say that I am a big fan of Southern Tide. I have seen the company on the rise on Cape Cod when I visit my grandparents, and I just believe that everything that is Southern Tide has superior quality in it. I think I purchased almost every Southern Tide accessory and apparel item the retailer had in stock. Keep up the good work and I will always be a great fan of southern tide.

I just wanted to let you know that you produce a fantastic product. I have never been more pleased with the quality and vibrancy of a shirt. I am now on my fifth or sixth shirt and I ca not wait to purchase another. It is so nice to buy from a company who makes a great product and is so customer service oriented.
H. Chandler
Just wanted to start by saying all your stuff is A+ and I will continue to buy from you! In fact, during a recent school gift exchange, I was gifted multiple Southern Tide products!
J. Lynch, Savannah, GA
Thank you for making such a great quality product that is so very hard to find these days. I am a so-called broke college student and when I have extra spending cash I like to treat myself to some nice clothing and I decided to give Southern Tide a try. I purchased the 1/4 zip pullover and one of your sport shirts that fit perfect! I just wanted to thank you for the great clothing and keep up the good work.
J. Newton, Macon, GA
In this day and age the economy is taking its toll on a lot of things and many companies are skimping out on their products to make more money. Thank God there are still companies like you out there. I proudly promote your merchandise whenever I can. It is well worth the money! Keep up the good work! P.S.- Your t-shirts are the most comfortable shirts I own and I will continue to purchase them!
T. James
First, I would like you to know how thrilled I am from the quality of your product. Every Southern Tide product I own has quickly become my favorite article of clothing in my closet. For holidays when I am asked what I would like I usually say "anything by Southern Tide" because I have yet to find an option I do not like. As long as you maintain the current business model of quality comfortable clothing without compromise I will always remain a loyal customer.

AUSTIN -- Formula 1 brought fans and revenue to the state and City of Austin, but it's still up in the air how local businesses fared.
Formula 1 inaugural weekend was hailed a success. City and county officials said plans to control the 120,000 fans traveling to and from the track went off without a hitch. Austin got good press around the world. Airport traffic and revenue was up, but for downtown business owners, the bottom line comes down to location.
It seems business owners along 2nd Street did significantly less business than those just four blocks away.
"We were right in between Fan Fest and the 6th Street entertainment district, and we did well. It was a great weekend. We saw a lot of people. Did much above average business," said Fred Schmidt talking about his store, Wild About Music, across from The Driskill.
Schmidt says his other business across from the W hotel on 2nd Street was a bust. "We saw nobody. It was like a ghost town," he said.
Schmidt says road closures and Fan Fest played a role in business. He says those in the warehouse district, where Fan Fest was mostly set up, did well, but since stages had their backs to 2nd Street, businesses there suffered.
"Therefore people, like, watched the stage but never went behind it, so we were kinda backstage," Schmidt said.
There was a stage at Colorado and 2nd Street, and again one block over at Congress, with 2nd at its back. This cordoning off at Congress could be why traffic didn't make it over the Ann Richards Congress Avenue bridge.
The owner of Mi Casa, James Luedeke says his shop on South Congress did worse than a normal weekend, which hurt because late November is a typically busy time of year.
The City of Austin is encouraging business owners to participate in the online survey to better understand the effects of November's U.S. Grand Prix. City leaders want local business owners to respond to an 18-question online survey.

Flood waters recede, lawsuits on the riseby Opinion Staff
A federal judge in New Orleans has ruled that the Army Corps of Engineers has to pay six plaintiffs about $720,000 for failing to protect their homes and businesses from flooding during Katrina.
If the judge's ruling survives an expected appeal, it could produce another flood — this time of lawsuits that could cost billions of dollars.
The issue is of interest in Florida, which not only has hurricanes, it also has the Army Corps of Engineers in charge of flood-control projects, such as the repair job on the Herbert Hoover Dike around Lake Okeechobee. That dike has been labeled dangerous.
Of course the Army Corps of Engineers thinks existing law makes it immune from such lawsuits. Lots of experts agree and expect an appeals court to nullify the ruling.
We think that if a governmental entity promises to protect people from flooding and then doesn't, that entity should pay.
What do you think? Take our poll above.

A long time Piedmont resident, Cottrell said he didn't want to see the goals removed because they were used by children and there are already too few activities for them there. But he also understood why the city was trying to squelch mischievous activity, so he decided to try to help the city by taking another approach.
Cottrell is trying to start a community watch program to help the police keep the peace in Piedmont, but he's not ready to begin just yet. Cottrell wants to take the next year to develop the watch group, which he said would function like a neighborhood watch for the city.
"I definitely think he's set a doable timeline for this," said Steven Tidwell, Piedmont's police chief.
Mischievous activity and vandalism at Veterans Memorial prompted city officials earlier this year to begin enforcing a curfew there.
Cottrell met with the police chief and three members of the city council to discuss his idea. He emphasized throughout the discussion that the group would not carry weapons or take action to stop questionable activity.
Instead, he said, it would be a volunteer group that exists to assist the police.
"I would just sit in my car and observe," Cottrell said. "You don't confront anybody, you don't say anything to anybody."
Cotrell said he would like the program to include between six and 12 people. He said they would take turns driving around the city to check for problematic behavior that might need to be reported to the police.
City officials at the meeting said they like what Cottrell is trying to do, but due to liability concerns they can not become involved in it.
"This can not be a city funded or operated group," Tidwell said. "The group itself is going to have to be a volunteer operation."
However, Tidwell said the police could provide support for the group in the form of training. He said the city could give the volunteer residents basic legal and traffic safety training.
"This could be something that helps us out or that causes us more grief," Tidwell said emphasizing the importance of proper training.
At the beginning of the meeting Councilman Frank Cobb had reservations about the program because he said it could be too much of a liability for the city to get involved. Once he learned Cottrell wanted the group to be comprised of volunteers, he began to voice support for the plan.
"I really feel like we need to get a lot of people involved," Cobb said.
Councilwoman Brenda Spears also shared her thoughts about the plan during the meeting.
"It's just an extra pair of eyes and an extra pair of ears out there to help the police," Spears said.
Cottrell said he hopes he is able to do something to reduce mischievous behavior so that children in Piedmont can play in peace, but he is admittedly uncertain about whether the plan will become anything more than an idea.
"I am not simply asking for the goals to be put back at Memorial Park, but anywhere they are put up in the city," Cottrell said in a statement. "This is a call for me and anyone else that has time to volunteer in the upcoming months and the summer of 2014 so that our children will have a safe, clean place to play.
"The watch group duty is to drive around, stop and observe, not to interact. We should alert the proper authorities to any problems we observe."

Ed Schultz
"Straight from the Heartland"
Monday - Friday 11AM-2PM
How about 30 years in the media? How's that for a story? Ed Schultz started his radio career back in the 1970's. His play-by-play and color commentary roots have parlayed well into a spirited style of political talk. The launch of Ed's "News and Views" in 1992 put him squarely into the political talk arena where, for 15 years now, he speaks straight from the heart about all of the leading issues of the day. Schultz was syndicated by Jones Radio Networks® in 2004 and so began his meteoric rise as one of the leading talk show hosts in the country.
Ed Schultz's personal political transformation began after his first date with his now-wife Wendy, shifting from conservative to a more progressive view of the world. He has bridged the aisle and sees himself as the voice of the average American.
Ed is a former All-American. He won the 1977 NCAA Division II passing championship and signed as a free agent with the Oakland Raiders. Ed is a pilot, an avid hunter and fisherman.
Ed came to the Midwest from Norfolk, Virginia. He and Wendy have six children. In common with many Americans, he feels the effects of the rising cost of tuition, health care and insurance. Ed attributes his common sense and head-on approach to the people and places of the heartland.

Gus Malzahn's apprehension is understandable. During his news conference Tuesday, Auburn's head coach noted that without the benefit of spring practice, it's hard to predict how Marshall will react.
With that in mind, Malzahn said the coaching staff is going to do its best to "protect" the junior college transfer.
"I'll be curious to see how he responds," Malzahn said. "In practice, you put him through — it doesn't matter if it's quarterback or any other position — as many game-type situations as you can. But until you get him in that arena, that's when everything becomes very clear."
Marshall has shown no traces of the 20 interceptions he threw last season at Garden City Community College, as Malzahn trumpeted his precision.
"He's very accurate -- he really is," Malzahn said. "He's shown that he is accurate, not just in the vertical game but intermediate and short also."
RUNNING BACK BATTLE: The race to start at running back is too close to call.
Malzahn said Tre Mason and Cameron Artis-Payne were "pretty much on equal ground right now" heading into the season opener against Washington State.
"They both had outstanding fall camps," he said. "Corey Grant's a guy you could see in the mix too. The best thing is we feel like we've got some quality depth at the running back position going in. You can never have enough of that."
Malzahn went on to list the attributes he believes will help Grant contribute on offense this fall.
"Definitely he's a speed guy, but he's a strong guy," he said. "And he can do the different things we ask our tailbacks to do. You could see him doing just like Tre and Cameron."

Dear Editor: Your recent article, "CME's Voice in Washington," [March/April 2006] and the call to form a government advocacy task force is a critical and time-sensitive rescue mission that should be carried out by professionals in the CME industry and other collaborators. The future of CME will be contingent upon whether we can develop business models with less dependency on pharmaceutical support and more emphasis on outcomes and how CME impacts and adds value to the marketplace.
I believe CME does work and is essential to quality patient care, but its [public] perception has been [damaged]. CME is a business and must operate as a business. CME stakeholders must collaborate and share problems, ideas, resources, and opportunities. Ultimately, this collaboration and commitment would speak volumes and many would listen to the changing voice of CME. How can we help make it happen?

The Dutch Republic, Enlarged and Edited: Produced with the Care and Work of Matthaeus Seutter
This map of the United Provinces of the Netherlands was engraved by Matthaeus Seutter (1678-1757), an engraver and publisher from Augsburg, Germany. Seutter studied printing in Nuremburg and in Augsburg, as an apprentice to Jeremias Wolff, before setting up his own printing house in 1710. Seutter generally enlarged and engraved the work of others but did very little drawing of original maps. This map was printed by Tobias Conrad Lotter (1717-77), Seutter's son-in-law, who took over the business after Seutter's death.
Map of Holland: According to Astronomical Observations, Measurements of Schnellius & c. and the Superiorly Redesigned Special Maps of F. L. Güssefeld
This map of the Netherlands coast is the work of Prussian cartographer Franz Ludwig Güssefeld (1744-1807). It was drawn based on the calculations of the renowned Dutch mathematician Willebrord Snellius (1580-1626), a professor of mathematics at the University of Leiden, who conceived the idea of measuring the earth using triangulation. Snellius's discoveries helped to determine the radius of the earth as well as led to more accurate ways of measuring the distance between two cities.
Brussels, Important City in the Netherlands, Capital of the Duchy of Brabant
This late-18th century French map shows Brussels, at that time an important city in the Spanish Netherlands and the capital of the Duchy of Brabant. The map shows the borders of the city and the Senne River. The location of the city on the river made it an important commercial center for trade between France and the Germanic states. In 1695, Brussels was attacked by the army of Louis XIV, and suffered heavy damage. It remained under siege off and on until it was captured by the French in 1746 ...
Loftie Hours
This mid-15th-century illuminated book of hours is written entirely in Dutch on fine parchment and is remarkable for its 18 grisaille miniatures. This technique, wherein the figures are modeled primarily in a gray wash, became a favorite in the Netherlands. The hand behind the miniatures in this manuscript has been identified with one of a group of artists known as the Masters of the Delft Grisailles. The manuscript has been grouped with more than a dozen related works, including New York, Morgan Library Ms. M.349; London, Victoria and Albert ...
Duke Albrecht's Table of Christian Faith (Winter Part)
This manuscript is a document of the first importance in the history of Dutch manuscript illumination and contains an important medieval Dutch devotional text. The Tafel van den Kersten ghelove (Table of Christian faith) is a compendium of Christian knowledge written by a learned Dominican, Dirc van Delf. The text is in two parts, one for winter, another for summer. This manuscript is of the winter part and is incomplete, omitting the prologue and chapters 13, 14, and 35−57; chapters 23−24 are in inverse order. The arms of ...
Prayer Book
This illuminated prayer book, made in the Netherlands in the early 16th century, contains Latin prayers and passages from the Gospels. Although small in scale, it is notable for its abundance of illuminations, with nearly 60 extant small miniatures. Full-color portraits embellish the prayers to the Virgin and suffrages, while the images within the Gospel narrative are rendered primarily in grisaille, a nearly entirely gray monochrome technique. The last folios include a trompe-l'oeil foliate margin and a Crucifixion that seems to be a later addition. Throughout the book, gold ...
Belgium as a Lion
In the 16th and 17th centuries, maps of the Low Countries frequently were drawn in the form of a lion, known by its Latin designation, Leo Belgicus. The "Belgian" lion usually included all of the 17 provinces variously referred to as the Netherlands or the Low Countries, even though the seven provinces of the north broke away in 1581 to form the Dutch Republic. Symbols of Dutch patriotism, these maps often appeared in 17th-century Dutch paintings, hanging on the walls of inns or private homes, as in Jan Vermeer's ...
Get Out! The Indies Must be Liberated
This 1945 recruiting poster by the Dutch artist Nico Broekman shows a Japanese soldier being booted from the island of Bali, and the caption, "Get Out! The Indies Must Be Liberated." During World War II, Japan occupied the Dutch East Indies in early 1942. After the surrender, a large number of Dutch submarines and some aircraft escaped to Australia and continued to fight as part of Australian units. In the course of the war, Indonesian nationalists supported by the Japanese took over parts of the country. Allied troops invaded Borneo ...
Gustaaf Willem Baron van Imhoff, Governor General of the Dutch East India Company
This engraving depicts Gustaaf Willem Baron van Imhoff (1705-50), who served as governor general of the Dutch East India Company from 1743 to 1750. Imhoff began working for the company in 1725, and held important posts in both Ceylon (present-day Sri Lanka) and the Dutch East Indies. He attempted to institute some progressive policies in the East Indies, such as establishing a school, post office, hospital, and newspaper. The engraving is from the collections of the KITLV/Royal Netherlands Institute of Southeast Asian and Caribbean Studies in Leiden.
Charter Given by the High and Mighty Lords of the States General on the Date of June the Third, 1621
On June 3, 1621, the States-General, the governing body of the United Provinces of the Netherlands, issued a charter to a group of Dutch merchants to establish the Dutch West India Company. Similar to the Dutch East India Company, which was founded in 1602 in order to promote trade with Asia, the West India Company was granted a 24-year monopoly on all trade by Dutch merchants and inhabitants in a region that included the Americas and West Africa. The text of the charter, published in this 1623 pamphlet, contained 45 ...
The System of Saturn
Christiaan Huygens (1629–95) was born in The Hague, the Netherlands, into a prominent Dutch family. Unlike his grandfather, father, and brother who all served as secretaries and diplomats to the ruling house of Orange, Huygens dedicated himself to science and mathematics. He published three mathematical books, produced a manuscript on hydrostatics, wrote a work on the collision of elastic bodies, did research on centrifugal force, and invented the pendulum clock. Huygens was especially intrigued by the planet Saturn, whose protruding "handles" were visible through the telescopes of the day ...
Mirror of the Cruel and Horrible Spanish Tyranny Perpetrated in the Netherlands, by the Tyrant, the Duke of Alba, and Other Commanders of King Philip II
This volume, published in the Netherlands in 1620, contains French translations of two earlier works detailing Spanish crimes and atrocities in both Europe and the New World. The first part is an abridged version of Oorsprong en voortgang der Nederlandtscher beroerten (Origin and progress of the disturbances in the Netherlands) by Johannes Gysius (died 1652), first published anonymously in 1616. The second part is a translation of Brevísima relación de la destrucción de las Indias (A short account of the destruction of the Indies), written by Bartolomé de las Casas ...
Students Studying in the Netherlands at the End of the Edo Period
This photograph of Japanese students in the Netherlands was taken in 1865. After the arrival in Japan of Commodore Mathew C. Perry and the opening of Japanese ports to international trade, the acquisition of Western science and technology became an urgent priority for Japan. The shogunate government drew up a plan to dispatch students to Western countries. The government initially planned to purchase its first warship from the United States and send its first students there, but the outbreak of the U.S. Civil War forced it to drop those ...

Mount Pleasant, Mich. - Central Michigan was unable to find its groove offensively Saturday night, falling to Mid-American Conference west division foe Ball State in straight sets, 25-14, 25-22, 25-19.
The loss evened the Chippewas' record at 7-7 overall and 1-1 in MAC play. Ball State improved to 14-3 and 2-0 following the first weekend of conference competition.
While CMU struggled to find an offensive rhythm in the first set, the Cardinals were clicking on all cylinders, finishing with a .538 hitting percentage en route to a 25-14 victory.
Despite the struggles in set one, the Chippewas were able to regroup defensively in the second set, limiting the Cardinals to just .074 in an attempt to even the match.
The second set saw the two teams tied 12 different times, including as late as 18-18 following a kill by junior Hallie Enderle, but the Cardinals scored three-straight points to take a 21-18 lead and force a CMU timeout. A double block by junior Kaitlyn McIntyre and sophomore Angelique White pulled the Chippewas back within one, 21-20, but it was as close as they would get as the Cardinals went on to take a 2-0 lead into the break behind a 25-22 set two victory.
The Chippewas fell behind quickly in set three following the break, 12-5, forcing a pair of timeouts from head coach Erik Olson. A kill by McIntyre following a long rally sparked the Chippewas and started a mini run and freshman Melissa Fuchs recorded three kills to help CMU pull as close as four, 23-19, but a kill by BSU's Mindy Marx and an error on the Chippewas closed the match, 25-19.
Fuchs led the Chippewas with 10 kills, while McIntyre finished with eight. Senior Jenna Coates paced the defense with 18 digs and sophomore Kristen Reenders had a career-high 11 digs.
CMU begins a three-game MAC road trip next weekend with trips to Western Michigan and Northern Illinois.

If your disk gives up the ghost, if a script or program backfires, or if a malicious thief steals your laptop, then you are faced with the worst-case data disaster. Generally, you can kiss all your documents, photos, household bookkeeping, and entire music collection goodbye.
Although everyone knows that making regular backups protects against data loss, many people still don't do so. Too time-consuming, too complicated, or the optimistic assumption that bad things only happen to other people are among the most popular excuses. Many people think of cryptic tar and rsync entries on the command line when they hear the word "backup," but backing up data, even in the background, is very easy to do with luckyBackup.

Breadcrumb has unveiled an upgrade to its iPad POS for restaurants, bars and cafes. Breadcrumb 1.2 makes daily operation faster and easier for servers, bartenders and managers, boasting features shaped by conversations with hundreds of merchants and insights from millions of restaurant, bar and café transactions, according to a company press release.
Unlike users of outdated POS systems saddled with infrequent, costly and complex updates, customers using Breadcrumb's POS benefit from free, frequent and seamless upgrades, said Seth Harris, founder, Breadcrumb.
"Every day, thousands of customers get their food or beverages quickly and seamlessly thanks to Breadcrumb. Each order is an opportunity for us to learn and evolve," Harris said. "Breadcrumb 1.2 was driven by our merchants' real world experiences, and it offers a faster and easier dining experience for them and their customers."
Highlights of Breadcrumb 1.2 include:
- Smart swipe: Swiping a credit card automatically opens a tab in the cardholder's name, recalls an open tab or processes payment — without having to type in more information or navigate extra steps;
- Quicker PIN-based access to terminals with fewer keystrokes;
- Simpler process for complex charges: Breadcrumb makes it easy to split a balance evenly across a number of cards or across a combination of cash and cards; and
- Rapid order entry, including new single-touch order modifications for customizations, such as cooking temperature.
Breadcrumb is a division of Groupon.

Rothsay is trying again at a referendum for a new schoolFargo, ND (WDAY TV)-- Rothsay is taking another swing at a referendum for a new school. But this time, they've cut the project price by nearly 5 million dollars.
Fargo, ND (WDAY TV)-- Rothsay is taking another swing at a referendum for a new school. But this time, they've cut the project price by nearly 5 million dollars.
And the new plan shrinks the blue prints by about 3-thousand square feet.
The first go-around was back in December, when the projected failed by just 12 votes.
Then, officials were asking for about 24 million dollars for the new school.
Now in just two weeks, voters will decide the future for both Rothsay students and the town.
Between time and money,
Lexi Jensen/ For the project: "Over 50 percent of our school was built prior to 1940."
Physically, Rothsay school can't keep up.
Jensen:"I wish money wasn't the issue"
Their student population is bubbling over. New families keep coming in, but the building is only growing older. Lexi Jensen is on the Vote Yes committee.
Jensen: "I would pay any price to keep the school in town."
A new school would mean, more room and better quality classrooms. But this mother of one, holds a strong no. She thinks a new school could sink the many farmers around Rothsay.
Jennifer Atwater/Against the project: "Because these family farms cannot continue to run with the large increase in tax."
For every 100 thousand dollars in agricultural land, the project would tax the owners about 13 dollars per month.
Now if you owned, let's say 1 million dollars in property. That's an extra 130 bucks a month.
Atwater: "I personally feel there's a middle ground that we could all find."
People living in the city, would catch a break.
If voters pass the new plan, an old referendum would fall off of their taxes. That means the owner of a 150-thousand dollar home would save about 150 dollars a year.
Jensen: "I think we could hold our own for awhile, but if our numbers keep crawling, ya know getting larger, then there's really no extra space."
Voters have about two weeks to make their decision, ballots will be cast on May 16th.

Perform a clean startup to determine whether background programs are interfering with your game or program
Article ID: 331796 - View products that this article applies to.
This article was previously published under Q331796
On This Page
This article describes how to start your computer by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs so that you can determine whether a background program is interfering with your game or program. This kind of startup is known as a "clean boot." This article also provides information that you can use to o troubleshoot application or service conflicts.
When you start Windows by using a normal startup, several applications and services start automatically, and then run in the background. These programs include basic system processes, antivirus software, system utility applications, and other software that has been previously installed. These applications and services can cause interference when you install or run a program, such as Microsoft Flight Simulator X or Streets & Trips 2010.
This article is intended for a beginning to intermediate computer user.
You may find it easier to follow the steps if you print this article first.
PrerequisitesCheck the following requirements before you follow any of the methods in this article.
Things that you should know before you perform a clean startup

Step 4: Enable half of the Startup items
Step 5: Determine whether the problem is resolvedAfter you complete Step 4, click to clear the Hide All Microsoft Services check box. Then, repeat the steps in Step 3, except that you are now working in the Startup list instead of in the Services list.
Step 6: Resolve the problemAfter you determine the startup item or the service that causes the problem, contact the program manufacturer to determine whether the problem can be resolved. Or, run the System Configuration Utility, and then click to clear the check box for the problem item.
How to return Windows to a normal startup mode
If the problem occurs when your computer is in clean startup mode, then the interference is not being caused by a background program. In this case, return your computer to the normal startup mode. The normal startup mode starts Windows in the usual manner by loading all device drivers and services.
You might also want to return Windows to a normal startup mode if you have problems during any of the troubleshooting procedures that are discussed in this article, and if you want to return the services to the original settings.

Fare is fair: End of the line for LA subway 'honor system'
Photo by Frederick Dennstedt via Flickr Creative Commons
Metro ticket machines at the Hollywood/Highland station in Los Angeles, CA.
Metro will begin locking subway station gates on the Red Line and Purple Line as the transit authority tosses from the train its decades-old policy of "honor system" ticket collection.
L.A. rail-riders will start encountering the locked gates this summer, it was decided Thursday in a vote by the board of directors of the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority.
Notes Metro's blog, The Source:
The Metro Board approved the staff plan on locking gates at rail stations and converting ticket machines completely to TAP. In other words, the ticket machines will no longer issue paper tickets with the conversion set to begin in a few more months.
As the Metro staff explains, the gates WILL NOT be locked all at once. Rather, the agency will aim for first locking the gates at the Normandie station on the Purple Line subway in late summer and then subsequently lock the gates in the remainder of the subway stations over the following seven months.

BGE's Smart Energy Savers Program® recognized for its focus on energy efficient products
BALTIMORE, April 12, 2011 – Baltimore Gas and Electric Company (BGE) today announced that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has selected the utility as one of its 2011 ENERGY STAR® award winners in the Partner of the Year category for energy efficiency program delivery for new homes and products. BGE was selected for its commitment to energy efficiency and its efforts to incentivize home builders to incorporate ENERGY STAR-rated products into new home construction and to offer rebates to individual home buyers who purchase qualifying ENERGY STAR appliances and systems. The award was announced today in Washington, D.C.
Since its inception in 2008, BGE's Smart Energy Savers Program® has been strongly supported by BGE customers who have achieved an overall energy savings of more than 510 million kilowatt hours (kWh), equivalent to eliminating the carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from the electricity use of nearly 43,000 homes for one year. BGE's Smart Energy Savers Program® is a suite of offerings intended to help customers reduce energy usage and demand in support of EmPOWER Maryland's goal of a 15 percent per capita reduction in energy consumption by 2015.
"While BGE is extremely proud to be recognized by the EPA, it is really BGE's customers who have made this award possible," said Mark D. Case, senior vice president of pricing and regulatory affairs for BGE. "Our customers continue to aggressively support BGE's Smart Energy Savers Program® by taking advantage of rebates, bill credits and other incentives intended to help them cut their energy usage which may also help them reduce their energy bills. The success of this program is absolutely dependent upon customer participation and we accept this award on our customers' behalf and share it with the BGE employees who work tirelessly to design, implement and improve our programs."
The EPA award comes on the heels of other significant recognitions including:
-Platts Global Energy Award – Energy Efficiency Program of the Year;
-AESP 2010 Outstanding Achievement in Pricing and Demand Response Award for BGE's Smart Energy Pricing pilot program;
-ENERGY STAR® New Homes 2010 Leadership in Housing Award for BGE's energy efficient new homes program; and
-The Baltimore Chapter of the American Marketing Association 2010 Best Local Marketing Campaign Award for BGE's Energy Efficiency and Conservation Marketing campaign.
Among the many accomplishments of BGE's Smart Energy Savers Program® to date is the enrollment of more than 300,000 BGE customers in BGE's PeakRewardsSM program, designed to help ease peak demand for electricity in the mid-Atlantic region. Since the inception of the program, participating customers have helped Maryland reduce peak energy demand by nearly 500 megawatts (MW). This is equivalent to the generation capacity of a small power plant - or enough electricity to power 160,000 homes for one year. Additionally, PeakRewardsSM participants receive bill credits of up to $200 per year in the first year of participation.
Other significant milestones of BGE's Smart Energy Savers Program® since 2008 include:
-7.1 million compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs) sold through BGE's Lighting Program which instantly discounts CFLs up to $2.50 per bulb at more than 300 participating retailers across BGE's service area;
-More than 15,000 Quick Home Energy Check-ups which can provide customers with immediate energy savings of about $50 a year and ideas for taking additional steps to reduce a home or apartment's energy use;
-Savings averaging $400 per year on energy bills for more than 2,400 customers participating in BGE's Limited Income Energy Efficiency Program;
-More than 340,000 PeakRewardsSM devices installed in homes throughout BGE's Central Maryland service area;
-Recycling approximately 500 pounds of mercury from more than 60,000 old thermostats replaced with BGE's PeakRewardsSM thermostats;
-More than 13,000 refrigerators and/or freezers recycled as part of BGE's Refrigerator/Freezer Recycling Program; and
-Recycled 800,000 linear feet of fluorescent lamps, or the equivalent of more than 150 miles of straight tube fluorescent lamps in 2010 as part of BGE's Small Business Lighting Solutions Program. Ballast recycling has kept 73 tons of waste out of area landfills.
BGE, www.bge.com, headquartered in Baltimore, is Maryland's largest gas and electric utility, delivering power to more than 1.2 million electric customers and more than 640,000 natural gas customers in Central Maryland. The company's approximately 3,000 employees are committed to the safe and reliable delivery of gas and electricity, as well as enhanced energy management, conservation, environmental stewardship and community assistance. BGE is a subsidiary of Constellation Energy, www.constellation.com, a FORTUNE 500 company also headquartered in Baltimore, with subsidiaries that generate, sell and provide other energy-related services to customers throughout North America.
ENERGY STAR was introduced by EPA in 1992 as a voluntary, market-based partnership to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and other pollutants associated with energy use. Today, the ENERGY STAR label can be found on more than 60 kinds of products as well as new homes and buildings. Last year alone, Americans, with the help of ENERGY STAR, saved $18 billion on their utility bills and prevented greenhouse gas equivalent to those of 34 million cars. Products, homes and buildings that have earned the ENERGY STAR prevent emissions by meeting strict energy-efficiency specifications set by the EPA. For more information, go to energystar.gov.

When the softener was in use before its removal was there any staining?
RO system will only remove one of the forms of Arsenic and not the other.
If the softener when it was working was removing the staining from the house, I would first put a softener back in and then test for the Arsenic in the water and find out what the level is, then if there is still some level of Arsenic research research and then some more research as to what level is good or bad... I have a challenge in taking what the Government says is good or bad but that is just me.
Then if the level is above what you would like, there is a media that is Arsenic only and use a point of use under the sink for the removal of the Arsenic.. the iron first has to be removed or it will not work.
Just my thoughts on the matter.

Fewer than one-third of retailers have optimized sites for tablet commerce, according to a report, "Mobile & Tablet e-Commerce: Is anyone really ready?" by Zmags, a provider of rich media mobile and social merchandising.
Zmags commissioned HawkPartners, a marketing consulting and research firm, to assess the mobile and tablet offerings of the Top 100 Internet retailers, who were evaluated on the shopping and purchasing experiences they provided across tablets (iPad), smartphones (iPhone and Android) and Facebook, according to a company press release.
The study found that most are relying on their standard websites to provide an adequate enough tablet shopping experience.
"What we discovered, unexpectedly, was that very few retailers—even among this elite group of marketers—are tapping into the full shopping potential of mobile and tablet devices. In fact, not even close to it," W. Sean Ford, COO and CMO of Zmags, said in the release. "Only one quarter of retailers are ready to take a consumer through checkout over tablets, but 49 percent of today's tablet owners said they plan to shop even more next year using their device.
"This reflects a serious disconnect between how consumers want to shop and the inconsistent experiences they are being offered. It's a crucial issue that retailers need to address before their competitors do."
Other key findings include:
- More than half of retailers have developed smartphone-specific offerings to provide key functionality for the smaller screen.
- While more than two-thirds of the retailers have developed iPhone apps, only half of that group offers the ability to purchase via the app.
- All 100 retailers have Facebook brand pages, but only one (Coldwater Creek) lets consumers directly purchase from the Facebook page.
- The research identified three retailers (Gilt Groupe, Disney and Urban Outfitters) as having the strongest and most robust mobile offerings across most devices and channels.
- Only 19 of the top 100 retailers extended beyond ordinary HTML-type content to include more engaging material such as look books, catalogs, editorial picks, etc. However, none of them extended the dynamic environment or optimized the brand experience across the full range of smartphones, tablets and Facebook.
All results are based on the research conducted over a four week period in November and December 2011.

Hi there!
Getting prepared to start my first Body for Life Challenge, but realized I won't be able to finish in time for 2012.
I don't want this to stop me, however! Does anyone know if I can do it and submit it for the first 2013 challenge?
I was wondering the same thing. I filled out the challange papers anyway. I guess they can put us in a catagory when next years comes up? I am starting the 29th, so I am with you in that gap there.
inkymama & Merianne,
The last day to start for the 2012 Challenge was August 27th, but you both will be eligable for the first round in 2013! Feel free to start when you both are ready and let us know if you have any questions.

Spike Likes… Thanksgiving Edition
A heartwarming story, some delicious family recipes and a little holiday fun. Yes, it is that time of year already- time for Thanksgiving.
If you have not planned your Thursday meal yet, fear not! Our Spike Likes team has combined their family favorites into one place, just for you.
Jason Frummet:
A nicely 'spiked' holiday cocktail: Cranberry Gingerly – A spicy spin on the traditional Cosmo.
1/4 cup vodka (for more fruity flavor use Pomegranate Vodka, for more spice use Ginger Vodka)
2 tablespoons ginger beer
1 1/2 tablespoons thawed cranberry juice cocktail concentrate
1 1/2 teaspoons lemon juice
1/8 ground ginger
Shake ingredients with ice in a cocktail shaker, strain into a Martini glass and garnish with a slice of crystallized ginger.
An AMAZING Holiday dessert: Harvest Pear Crisp with Candied Ginger (hint, this goes well with the drink above)
1/2 cup all purpose flour
1/2 cup (packed) dark brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/2 cup chilled unsalted butter, but into 1/2-inch cubes
1 cup old-fashioned oats
1/2 cup coarsely chopped whole raw almonds (or walnuts)
1/4 cup 1/4-inch cubes crystallized ginger
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/4 cup 1/4-inch cubes crystallized ginger
4 pounds firm but ripe pears (6 – 7 large), peeled, cored, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
Preparation for Topping:
Whisk first 5 ingredients in bowl, add butter. Working quickly so butter doesn't soften, rub in with fingertips until moist clumps form. Stir in oats, almonds, and ginger. Chill while preparing filling.
Preparation for filling:
Preheat over to 350F. Whisk first 4 ingredients in a large bowl, add pears and ginger, toss.
Transfer to 13 x 9 x 2 inch oval baking dish or into individual ramekin dishes. Sprinkle topping over pear mixture.
Bake until topping is crisp and golden brown, and juices are bubbling, about 50 minutes. Serve warm with a dollop of whipped cream.
Rachel Omiliak: For anyone who wants to check one thing off of their Thanksgiving cooking list early, this recipe can be made a day ahead- just so all the flavors can meld together.
Cranberry Raspberry Sauce
10 ounces raspberries
1 pound cranberries
1 cup water
1 ½ cups sugar
Grand Marnier (to taste)
Mix together cranberries, water and sugar in a large heavy pan. Cook to boiling, continue a gentle boil, stirring frequently. Once the cranberries pop open (about 10 minutes), stir in the raspberries and cook for another 5 minutes. Remove from heat, and let cool. Add Grand Marnier to taste. Chill in jars, serve and enjoy!
Tim Hodgson: I hated yams as a kid. But then I didn't have yams prepared like this. I'm now dutifully making up for the years of not eating them. If you try this recipe, I think you'll agree. They're called "Christmas Yams" but we checked with the Holiday Authorities, and found out that it was indeed okay to make these for Thanksgiving.
Christmas Thanksgiving Yams
2 Cups Raw Cranberries
½ Cup Butter
1 Cup Brown Sugar
4 Apples (Cored and Sliced)
5-7 Fresh Cooked Yams (Sliced into 1 1/2 inch chunks)
Combine cranberries, butter, sugar and apples in medium saucepan. Cook until the pan is bubbly and the butter is melted.
Lay fresh cooked yams evenly across 13″ by 8″ pan. Pour fruit mixture over cooked yams.
Bake for ½ hour at 350 degrees.
Lea Loya: My mom passed away seven years ago during Thanksgiving week. It was her favorite holiday. This time of year, I think of her cooking. It was all deeply authentic and traditional Spanish/Filipino food that is only served on special, special occasions. So, I think of her lumpia and leche flan. Once in a while, I attempt to make them. But it never comes out as good as hers.
Willem Buys: A dee-licious side for your Thanksgiving dinner.
Mashed Carrots and Potatoes
2 pounds baking potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
2 pounds carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
2-4 tablespoons butter
Pinch saffron, crumbled
Grated zest of one lemon
1/4 to 1/2 cup milk or crème fraîche.
Boil the vegetables separately in salted water until very tender, 5 to 7 minutes, then drain. In one of the pans you used for boiling, mash the carrots well with the butter, saffron and lemon zest, then add the potatoes and mash well. Thin with milk or crème fraîche and add salt to taste. Serves 6 to 8.
Robert Coats: Men and women are different, so is their taste in turkey. Below are the demographic search trends according to Clues.Yahoo.com for three ways of preparing the Thanksgiving feast.
Roasted Turkey
Deep Fried Turkey
Gina Auffant: Straight from the mouths of Kindergartners, is the story of Thanksgiving. While their recount is not quite historically accurate, their efforts are quite adorable.
Sharan Ochsner: This Thanksgiving, just be thankful that you are not a cranberry.
Andrew Skirde: Thanksgiving Song – by Adam Sandler
In the words of Adam Sandler, "Gobble gobble goo and gobble gobble gickel, I wish turkey only cost a nickel. Oh I love turkey on Thanksgiving"

Bill Snyder and Kansas State have agree upon a new multi-year contract which will keep the 73-year-old coach on the sidelines through 2017.
The school's board of directors approved the deal which will pay Snyder $14.75 million over the next five years. Snyder previously made $2.2 million in 2012, but will see that number go up to $2.75 million in 2013. After that, his salary will see an increase of $100,000 annually.
Kansas State has gone 21-5 in the past two seasons including an 11-2 record this season which included an 8-2 mark in the Big 12, which was good enough for the program's third conference title since 2003.
Snyder's new contract is also equipped with performance bonuses which include $50,000 if Kansas State finishes third in the Big 12; $75,000 for second-place or $100,000 for first-place. He also will receive $50,000 if Kansas State qualifies for a postseason bowl and $100,000 if the team qualifies for a BCS bowl game. Kansas State played in the Fiesta Bowl this past season.
The agreement also states that if Kansas State qualifies for one of the national semifinals games starting in 2014, Snyder will receive an $175,000 bonus as well as a $250,000 bonus if the team goes on to play in the national championship. If the Wildcats win that game, he will qualify for an additional $350,000.
If Kansas State finishes in the top 20 in the final AP or BCS rankings, Snyder will receive an additional $50,000. If the team finishes in the top ten, the number goes up to $100,000.
Even with the raise, Snyder is the fifth-highest paid coach in the Big 12 behind Mack Brown (Texas), Bob Stoops (Oklahoma), Gary Patterson (TCU) and Mike Gundy (Oklahoma State).

Songfacts reports that they decided on calling themselves 'The Saturdays' as it sounded fun and different to the other girl bands. They didn't want the name to reference their gender, like Girls Aloud, The Spice Girls or Sugababes. The Saturdays made their recording debut in 2007 under the record label Fascination Records, a sub-division of Polydor Records. Their debut album, Chasing Lights, produced five UK Top 25 singles. The band embarked on their first headlining UK tour, called 'The Work Tour', in June 2009. Their first single, titled If This Is Love was released on 28th July 2008 and entered the UK chart at #8 where it peaked. It reached #33 on the Eurochart Hot 100 singles. The single's sold around 90,000 copies to date. The second single, Up, was released on 13 October 2008. It debuted on the UK singles chart at #5, ... Read More

Vic Koenning is a competitor
If you have 4 minutes sometime today, watch this interview with Illinois defensive coordinator Vic Koenning.
This is after practice and he sounds a little tired; but as the questions come you can just hear the competitor in him.
There is a great point in here (around the 0:55 second mark) where a reporter asks him about whether the focus this August is on preparing the players to have a great season or is the goal to have the best possible practice everyday. Koenning's answer is an interesting one, "Human nature has you try to prepare for that practice to be the best that you can for that practice...but we're trying to get back to focusing on the season" something he says he might have lost perspective on last year.
A couple of takeaways. First, Koenning leads off emphasizing how good their offense is, "really, really, really good". Second, he'd like to have a little more depth right now with his guys (who wouldn't though). Finally, we're very confident he'll have his guys prepared come next Saturday when they host Arkansas State.
I'm Joker
Joker Phillips went up to Louisville this morning. UK was holding a football kickoff luncheon and Joker was asked to stop by a local station to do an interview first. Coach enters the station and is greeted by a young staffer, "Good to meet you, coach." As Phillips tells the story, "The young man then turns his back to me and says, 'You know, I'm not really a Cardinal fan; I grew up in Lexington.' I said, 'I'm Joker."
The guy had thought he was speaking Charlie Strong.
Phillips and Strong have been friends for years and now are the faces of the two preeminent college football programs in the state. Phillips was asked if it's awkward going against his friend when recruiting in state talent. "We don't really talk about their program when we're trying to sell Kentucky. You're very limited in how many opportunities you have in front of a recruit, so for me to spend time talking about somebody else's program, that's just taking away time for me to talk about mine. And we've got a lot of things to sell here at Kentucky, and I need all that time to sell it."
Phillips was also asked how his players are responding to new defensive coordinator Rick Minter's schemes. "Our kids have come a long way in understanding Rick. Rick's a tough, hard-nosed, in-your-face type of coach. Some had problems with that. I understand that. But they now understand the benefits of his approach. His approach is to try to get out kids to line up fast, to play great technique and to play within the schemes."

Tennessee, Dooley and Kiffin can move on
You can find details from the NCAA on other websites if that's the kind of thing you enjoy reading.
Here's all you need to know. Tennessee football, Derek Dooley and Lane Kiffin can put all of the "NCAA violations" talk behind them. The committee said there was insufficient evidence to support major violations by the football program or Coach Kiffin.
Equipment guys, this one's for you
Don Barnes is the equipment director at Missouri. Been that for quite some time.
The man enjoys and takes great pride in the work that he and his staff do for the University.
In this video, Barnes describes a typical week for his staff during football season. Professional.
Dan Mullen doing the news: Packers lose a playbook
The Packers lost a playbook and it wound up all over the streets of Green Bay. Unusual; but not necessairily worthy of mention on FootballScoop right?
Well, we watched the video and thought our eyes were deceiving us...
When did Dan Mullen start doing local news broadcasts in Green Bay? Huh? See the video. An uncle maybe?
Value of the Student Section
If you've ever tried to call a game in Tiger Stadium, The Swamp, at Notre Dame, Penn State, Texas A&M, Virginia Tech, Wisconsin or West Virginia you've felt the power, noise and excitement the student section can generate.
At some stadiums, the student section is a distinct advantage for the home team.
UVA isn't currently one of those stadiums; but Mike London is making strides and recognizes the value in the student section. In an effort to engage more deeply with the student body, London and his staff hosted "Virginia Football 101" last night. As you can see below in a letter to the student body that Coach London sent out, he and the staff spent time educating the students about UVA football and trying to make them more knowledgeable and enthusiastic about participating on gameday.
Nearly 1,300 students showed up (total undergrad enrollment per year at UVA is just over 3,000) and one lucky student won free tuition for the Spring semester (nearly a $6,000 ticket).
Coach London clearly sees the value in the student section and is willing to invest his and his staff's time in cultivating a great gameday experience for his players and for the University.
Dear UVa Students:
I would like to invite you to an exclusive, free student event to get you ready for the 2011 football season. Virginia Football 101 will be held on Tuesday, Aug. 23 from 5-6:30 p.m. at John Paul Jones Arena. One student in attendance will win free tuition for the spring semester (in-state tuition)!
Virginia Football 101 will take you behind the scenes of the program. The UVa football coaching staff will let you know what goes on the night before and the day of games, we'll introduce you to our offensive, defensive, and special teams philosophies, and we'll also talk about specific Virginia football strategies.
The first 750 students in attendance will receive a free Virginia Football t-shirt. There will also be free food and Pepsi products while supplies last. In addition to the free tuition giveaway, we'll also give away two, $250 gift certificates to help you cover your book expenses for the fall semester.
Please use the John Paul Jones Arena student entrance starting at 5 p.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 23. Virginia Football 101 will start at 5:30 p.m. I look forward to seeing you there!
Go 'Hoos!
Mike London
Head Football Coach
Below is video of the "white out" at Penn State.
Belichick: Extra points aren't a play
Bill Belichick went on local radio yesterday and inevitably the question came up about how he feels about the NFL changing the kickoff rules this season.
In his response, Belichick introduced a whole new question of whether the league should do away with or alter the extra point play.
Summarizing Belichick's words:
Plays that are non plays shouldn't be part of the game. It's not good for the game. You know like extra points, when you're up to 99% on extra points it's not a play. Let's move the ball back to the 15 or the 20 yard line and not make it a tap in, and least make them putt it.
The full interview is nearly 30 minutes long and can be heard here. The discussion regarding extra points occurs around the 6 minute mark.
Mizzou becoming QB U?
It would be hard for any program to match the success that the last 3 quarterbacks at Missouri have had. Brad Smith, Chase Daniel and Blaine Gabbert are all in the NFL and each owns his own set of records back at Mizzou.
This year, the Tigers are looking to James Franklin to take the reins. Coaches Pinkel and Yost have been very positive about his performance thus far; but the real test comes on September 3rd when Miami (OH) comes to town.
Mizzou's defensive front is stacked and every receiver is returning on offense. Watch out for these guys.
As for Franklin, he's athletic (was a serious dual threat in high school); and quite possibly the nicest quarterback you'll ever hear speak. Watch this video.

Final rolling of Auburn's Toomer's Corner to take place on Saturday
By Zac Ellis
One of the final chapters of the sad, curious saga of the oaks at Auburn's Toomer's Corner will be written on Saturday. Shortly after Tigers' A-Day spring game, fans can gather for what will be the final rolling of the trees on campus.
The rolling is scheduled to begin at 5:00 p.m. and will include remarks from Auburn mayor Bill Ham Jr., university president Jay Gogue, head football coach Gus Malzahn, former AD David Housel, Auburn alumni association president Bill Stone and student government association president Harrison Mills. The university will unveil new development plans for Toomer's Corner, the location of the trees, during the event.
Auburn will hand out toilet paper to fans in attendance while some merchants will sell rolls, giving away a free roll for every purchase. A pep rally will accompany the rolling of the trees and will include appearances by the Auburn pep band and cheerleaders.
The trees, which were poisoned two years ago by Alabama fan Harvey Updyke, have been iconic campus landmarks for decades. They've traditionally been "rolled" by fans after each home football victory.

Idk what is being argued here, but JJ Watt is better than Aldon Smith at football...thats all I know.
|Sponsored Links
"The idea that the market will solve such things as environmental concerns, as our racial divides, as our class distinctions, our problems with educating and incorporating one generation of workers into the economy after the other when that economy is changing; the idea that the market is going to heed all of the human concerns and still maximise profit is juvenile. . . Are we all in this together or are we all not?" - David Simon, creator of The Wire
You can blame Justin Smith for cheating or whatever else you want, but the fact is that Aldon Smith is just too fast and shifty for a lot of linemen to handle. If he gets some daylight or builds up some speed, he's gone, and the QB is down. It's his pure athletic talent that is getting these sacks along with Justin's hard work.
You can discredit him all you want, this kid is just learning the game, and that's a scary thought.
But the argument between who's the better player between Aldon and Watt...its not comparable really. Watt is a freak of nature, there is no denying that. He does soooo much for his defense. But if people are going to negate Aldon because he has Justin Smith, then you have to take away from Watt for having Barwin outside of him as well.
Oh and last time I checked, the LT is usually the best lineman on teams olines, and thats who Aldon is going up against a vast majority of the time. He deserves more credit than "Oh, Justin Smith is holding the offensive line for Aldon to get to the Qb." ****ing ridiculous
Not sure how people keep turning anything pertaining to Watt/Miller/Smith into a comparison of who is better overall among the three. The OP asks is Smith the premier pass rusher in the league, that is all.
49ERS PSD 7 Round Mock Results1st Round:Kelvin Benjamin WR FSU2nd Round:Trent Murphy OLB Stanford2nd Round:Donte Moncrief WR Ole Miss3rd Round:Keith McGill CB Utah3rd Round:Chris Davis CB Auburn

Rams fans hating on the 49ers because their St. Louis Cardinals Crumbled against the San Francisco Giants World Series Champions!
Don't the numbers speak for themselves?
Same with Norm's "screen" objection. If a player regularly cannot read screens and pursues the QB in pass-rush recklessly, getting burned, while another player consistently reads it well, pulls up his pass rush, and makes a better play....
It would appear that in both those situations, the other player is a worse pass-rusher bc of his lack of intelligence and ability to switch gears and make the right play while in pass rush.
This whole idea that rushing the passer only applies to trying to beat a block to get the the QB is just plain false. It's a nice attempt to concentrate sexy statistics into one category so we can compartmentalize sexy stats from less sexy stats, but it's still false. Again, nice try, but it is nonsense.

Retail Therapy1 of 11
By Alison Singh Gee
What could be more fun than spending the day shopping with your best friends? Actually, don't answer that. We all know that shopping with pals can potentially be full of pitfalls and hurt feelings. We talked to William Cane of Manhattan Makeovers and got his tips for making your next girls' day at the mall a peaceful one.
Plan Ahead2 of 11
Before you even set foot in a shopping center, it's vital that you discuss where you'll shop, how many stores you'll visit, and—if the area is spread out—how you'll get from store to store. This provides a mental roadmap that can help you avoid disappointment and confusion later. Also, anticipation is part of the fun.
Pick The Right Location3 of 11
Choose a shopping venue—local mall, retail boulevard or destination shopping center—that has both high- and low-end stores. You and your friends may have different ideas about what's affordable and what's too expensive.
Keep The Group Small4 of 11
If you shop with five or more people, then you won't have the same flexibility that you would if you opt for fewer friends. Smaller groups—from two to four—allow you to make decisions more quickly about when to leave a store, where to go next in the store and when to take a refreshment break.
Reconnect & Refuel5 of 11
Big department stores know how important it is for shoppers to have enough energy to spend (literally), which is why they have snack bars and restaurants in the store. Take advantage of the convenient eateries and use the time to check in and chat with friends.
Give Compliments6 of 11
Say nice things to your friends when they try something on: This will encourage them to enjoy the experience and be more adventurous. But if something doesn't look good on them, then let them know as tactfully as possible. Try to suggest something else that would look better: "I think I prefer the black jacket rather than this one."
Don't Critique Purchases7 of 11
It's good to tell your pals how you feel, but voice negatives before they spend their money. Once they have made a purchase, keep negative comments to yourself. Otherwise, you'll spoil their fun and excitement about what they purchased.
Don't Upstage8 of 11
When your friends go to the mirror to look at an item of clothing, don't jump in front of them to look at yourself in the mirror. If you must look at the same time, then stand behind them.
Treat Each Other9 of 11
Don't break the bank, of course, but if you can afford it, then buy something that you see your friend admiring—something like a hat, scarf or pair of gloves. She'll always remember that act of camaraderie and generosity.
Don't Shop Till You Drop10 of 11
Too often, people keep shopping past their limit, expending both mental and physical energy. So, stop while you still have gas in the tank. A four-hour day, including a lunch break, is ideal.
Make It Memorable11 of 11
If you take photos while shopping together, then you can talk about them later. Even without photos, it's a good idea to call your friends and talk about what you accomplished. Reminiscing is just as much a part of the fun as anticipation, and it provides another way for you to enjoy what you did.
